BEREA, Ohio - Recently released from the Cardinals, receiver and kick returner Ted Ginn is reportedly fielding an offer from his hometown Browns, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Cleveland ranked 28th last season in their return game and have reached out to the representatives of Ginn, a product of the city's renowned Glenville High School and Ohio State.
Browns safety Donte Whitner, also a Cleveland native and OSU teammate of Ginn, told Northeast Ohio Media Group that head coach Mike Pettine texted him on Wednesday that Ginn would be interested in a hometown reunion.
"He [Pettine] said it's definitely a consideration," Whitner said. "There may be something to it. Hopefully, it will happen."
Ginn played for his father at Glenville, who, said the Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, spoke with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam at the Greater Cleveland Sports Awards in January, an event he attended with Glenville and Ohio State product Cardale Jones.
"I think it would be a natural fit and I think it would give our fan base another big boost from a hometown guy like Teddy, who played at Ohio State, who played at Glenville High school, who's a Cleveland native,'' said Whitner. "And I think it would give him a boost also, playing in front of his friends, and family and fans that grew up watching him, so I think that would be a big career boost for him also. I'm hopeful that it happens.''
Ginn has 2,794 career yards on 211 receptions and 11 touchdowns with Miami, San Francisco, Carolina, and Arizona.
